Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


08 Aug 2011 23:02:18
I wish everyone would just shut up for five minutes, take a deep breathe and realize that Craig Whyte is a business man, business men do not like losing money.
So of course he will be frugal in the market, £5m a season as promised. Split that into the 2 transfer windows per season at worst, with 2 or 3 players being brought in on £25 grand a week that's £3 or 4 milion straight away regardless of transfer fee.
So I think he's on track to deliver that promise and as for him being a business man he will be looking to recoup some money and learn from Murrays' mistakes. For years we had one of the most giving chairmen in Spl history and now it's time to stop looking at the sun. Some of you have been blinded by this sun and can no longer accept the forced drop in quality.
But instead of booing your team at any given opportunity show our SUPPORT at EVERY game, this is my point. Treat these players like they ARE something special and maybe they'll start to believe in themselves.
As the Season ticket adverts around Glasgow say

'FANS WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS'

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Never seen a fan score the winner. Nonsense whyte is a con man

Agree0 Disagree0

You dont go to pictures to watch the walls or buy the popcorn. If hes a business man he should start by investing in his main product not the fixtures and fittings

Agree0 Disagree0

He was not " frugal " when asking fans to fork out hundreds of pounds in season ticket money, with promises if signings for this season. Only days ago Ally McCoist came out saying that he had had a good chat with Whyte on the flight back from Malmo, and that they knew what we needed to do in the transfer market. He went on to say that we had at least SIX bids in and he hoped to have a couple tied up and one in particular was almost done.............. UTTER F**KING CRAP it's all lies and deceit. Where are the signings, we keep hearing the same rubbish, tim and time again and nothing comes of it. @rseholes running Rangers, from top to bottom, it is now a major embarrassment

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Aug 2011 23:02:02
Have to say, I applaud G@rs fans on our sight wishing Emilio a speedy recovery, still gonna be on here mixing it up with you lot though...........Miko

Agree0 Disagree0

miko, it's a rangers page and your a celtic fan.

Agree0 Disagree0

Miko dont go on your page but heard your mhob are convinced Kayal is going to villa He IS NOT he's going to Spurs flew to Heathrow this morning and was met by a Mr collicut(spelling) its Brown and Ki that are going to Villa good news for u but is Everton have dropped interest in Hooper (not very good) and that polish goalie was crap anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

Cat help thinking martin bain wouldnt have had any trouble bringing in these players, gordon smith is a joke

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Would that be the same Martin Bain who was paid a six figure bonus when we had to sell our best players or the one who has been suspended indefinitely for 'financial irregularities'.

See that idiot that posted to get rid of Mr Whyte, have you any idea of what state we would be in if he hadn't bravely invested in us?? We would almost definitely lost all our top players for pennies. The club are evidently putting in bids for players, and evidently wanting to invest in team. I'm fed up with fans calling for whytes and allys head, you all should be ashamed, in my eyes your not supporters of rangers, all you want to do is cause unrest in a great football club. In time you will be made a fool

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Real bids we want, not embarrassing ones.....if a club bid 2m for Jelavic, would Rangers sell him??

No so why should we be offering rediculous money for top players.

Whyte knows the bids are gonna fail.

Agree0 Disagree0

All off us? all of us didn't make that post. I think you'll find we all just want the best for this once great club.

Agree0 Disagree0

A couldn't have said it any better myself mate am backing whyte and ally all the way its good to here somebody come out with that well said and well done a was starting to think it was only me that was backing them up

Agree0 Disagree0

Nope just the celtic fans that are backing them

08 Aug 2011 22:46:39
with the lastest from the transfer of juhasz. im am beginning to think that we are going about this transfer window all wrong,

i think we should stop dealing with the clubs and just see which players we can get on free transfer, there are international quality players like Upson sitting there looking for clubs just now,

im sure if we offered him a good wage and say a £1million signing on fee, he would join that would still be cheaper than spending £4milion on a guy that has never played british football, (and we really dont know to much about)

that way we woudnt have teams shifting the goal posts of what they are wanting, and it would save us weeks spending time speaking to clubs that have no intention of selling there players to us in the fist place.

just my opinion but what does everyone else think??

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Aye I know, imagine offering what Anderlecht asked for, £3.5m, then they change their mind

SHOCKING RANGERS

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Aug 2011 22:42:16
If the deal for Juhasz has fell through, Super Ally should make a loan bid for Derdyk Boyata from Man City. He has been linked through Sky Sports with Bristol City. In my opinion, he's better than that and looked pretty solid the times he played in the Premiership last season. Although missing out on the Hungarian may push a deal for Carlos Cuellar so we'll see. Dissapointed we haven't brought anyone in yet before this deadline.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

08 Aug 2011 22:41:20
Must say I'm very disappointed that the Hungarian won't be coming anymore (according to his agent), sounded like a good player. However, could he not put in a transfer request to help sanction his move? It is obvious that he wants to play for us and this is exactly the type of player we need, someone who is hungry for success and dedicated to our club. So if he can request a transfer, it would be interesting to see how desperate he is to play for this great club. I understand he has played for Anderlecht for several years and perhaps has too much respect to put in a request to get away, but it is very obvious that he is fed up playing in Belgium and wants a new challenge, by the sound of some of the quotes I have read from numerous websites and newspapers, so let's see if he REALLY wants to play here.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

08 Aug 2011 22:27:46
everyone has to calm down we will sign decent players before the window shuts, were not gonna get messed about and pay over the odd's for players, thats how we ended up in the red the last time, have faith and keep believing watp

Believable2 Unbelievable3

What about the euro cut off?

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Aug 2011 22:24:14
Anderlecht probably couldn't be bothered once we got into double digits on the failed bids as usual.

I don't think I could be bothered dealing with Rangers if I were looking to punt a player- who could be bothered with that quite frankly??

Do we reckon we'll see in excess of £1m spent on any one player before the end of August??
Yes: Believable, No: Unbelievable


Randolph True Blue

Believable3 Unbelievable4

Lee Wallace signed for us in June 1.5 m. Stop spreading your doubts.

Agree0 Disagree0

While reading this post I thought I was on the wrong site(thought it was the Green & white s**te, sorry meant site) was getting more depressed reading this nonsense. Whyte has saved this club from oblivion. Ally or should I say (SUPER ALLY) has probably put his life (family life) on hold to keep this wonderful football club as it should be THE GREATEST CLUB IN THE WORLD. So stop feeling sorry for yourself and think what these great people are going through. Get over yourself and deal with it. IN ALLY WE TRUST RTID LIZ J.

Agree0 Disagree0

Only thng Whyte has done is invest in a venue new sound system and kiosks and i will bet you a pound to a penny big screens are next not for the football fans but for the concerts he will be desperate to get all well and good if it brings money into RFC but he still has to invest £2.6 in less than £2 mill out admitedly some ad ons but still well in profit

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Aug 2011 22:11:50
I cant see anything anywhere about the juhasz move being off no mention of an agent or anything there I think its all crap panic panic

08 Aug 2011 22:06:10
Fellow bears, I am trying to remain positive. The one man who has held the club together over the last 4 yrs has retired. There is no way he would have put up with the way we are operating. McCoist has to show us what he is about be cause the early signs are not good.
The players look like they can no longer sustain there performances which won us 3 in a row, they need fresh faces who have genuine quality.
I fear those on 5 yr contracts will be sold in January

If ees good enough to be 3.5 m worth . pay it , if not , fuk im and ees s**tty club dont pay for guys that dont produce , this guy apparantly wants to come but dont pay well over the odds ,sounds like he 's made a deal with ees club tae get as much money oot the bears as he can

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Aug 2011 21:00:48
There is a thread on banter that
says we should expect Ally mcoists resignation
it would seem to follow the thinking here ed
my question is a simple one.. they know
what they are doing ,it would be best to stop now and come clean ..rather than see
rangers fc wound up or would it be better wound up? {Ed024's Note - RFC will not be wound up, Even if tax bill and loan debt is called in RFC is a going concern with a minimum 42000 weekly paying customers plus the armchair fans for merchandise, no creditor in his right mind would close a business with a guaranteed customer base, it will lead to limited recruitment and a fire sale of any talent on the books but not a winding up order

Believable1 Unbelievable1

08 Aug 2011 21:13:27
We really can't get a break at the moment, I remember when rangers would declare interest in a player and we pretty much had them signed, now I'm not confident until we see them in the shirt

according to stv the hungarian dudes agent is claiming the deal is off

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Well it just gets better, Sold Bougherra what are we left with 2 injured cb's in Weir and Goian. A loanee who plays better in DM. So its Clubfoot holding the centre of defence together. We will be out of Europe by September, and wjo knows about the league, but everytime Clubfoot plays CB against Celtic he has cost us a goal. Why cant we just buy a player instead of this weeks and weeks of lies and nonsense

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Aug 2011 20:49:42
So far whyte has done little but infuriate me. he says he's done everything he promised"...can we get the next joke craig?...
so far he's spent;
1.5 million on wallace
0.5 mi9llion on Ortiz
0.75 million for Goian
Kyle bartley - loan
so thats a total of 2.75 million spent so far on players. MOST of this will be OFFSET, when boughy gets sold (1.7 mill) and the 750k sell on from adam comes through.
we should sign Juhasz (3.5 mill), Foster (1.5), mckay (500k), cuellar (2.2), 7.5 million total. and thats of a promised 10 million in mccoists first season. but does whyte wish to part with his cash?

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Juhaz ain't coming deal off, don't know what foster your on about (Aberdeen player?) won't becoming back Makay is only £300,000 tops buyout clause it's all adding up to a fiasco, don't think we have any intention of buying anyone

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Aug 2011 20:43:30
Does anyone remember not too long ago nobody wanted to buy us ,we could'nt buy a highland league player never mind Carlos Cuellar and all our squad was up for sale . We now have an owner who is showing signs of investing got our main players signed up, Ibrox getting done up and all i read and see is negativity surrounding us . Im confused Apart from Malmo disaster we will be every bit as successful as the last 3 years

08 Aug 2011 20:35:54
With what has been going on so far in the transfer market, I think that it's obvious that we are waiting to get a couple of loans in from down south. Whyte and McCoist are hoping rather than being confident we get through into europa league. I include McCoist in this because if we are not getting loans in then why is McCoist not making sure Whyte gets the guys we've been reputedly after. Hope I'm wrong and we make a good couple of signings tonight before the deadline.

A minimum of 3 players are required to go straight into the team I think. A solid defender (Juhasz, hopefully) a centre midfielder with dig and an eye for a pass, and last but no way least a pacey winger who could be deployed on either wing.

Remember Whittaker can only get better, thank god...here's hoping...

Billy

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Whittaker will never get any better just an average player.

If we get this big hungarian guy, I doubt we will get Cuellar, but £3.5million a bit step for a CB who we dont know much about. Cuellar is proven in the SPL and it £2million is a bargain in my books. We will wait and see...

iama tad bid lost,whyte said we would have 5 million mabe even 15million to spend this year if we need to spend that ,we have signed wallace 1.5 million which is coverd by boggies movie1.7 ,we signed the centre bk 5000k and ortiz which is coverd by the money we got for the percentage of charlie adams move ,and bartleys movie which is just wages as its a loan ,so realy we have spent nothing ,still we can put the money in for any1 wont meet prices ,if we have 5 million or 15 million why cant we sign players ? got a feeling whyte is full of pants ,he has spend nothing ,
,whyte keeps saying were in for players nothing

a think we're actually just not prepared to go over we're own valuation of a players worth, and quite right to we as a club have been ripped off in the past for mediocre players and most players we've targetted this year theyr club has upped the anti on the initial transfer fee they wanted , we got jelavic with the same tactics and pushed the boat out to get him cause he's quality , addmitidly we pished about with goodwillie but if blackburn really wanted him they could have out bidded us any way (a think he wanted to go to england) and the rest of the players we're goin for has anybody really seen them apart from our own scouts , we payed for wallace after pissin about with s**tty bids but we ended up payin the fee for what a think looks like a right good player , wer best signen so far has been bartley ( class , the big man ) and he'll eventually play 1st team for arsenal and some of weer youth eg ness , hutton , wylde(who's no as good as HE thinks eh is)and bendicksen (who had a hard time against cole on sat , but done ok) they look better than some of our signen targets , a right decent signen will happen , an a hope we use all our money on class ( even if its 1` player ) than buyin s**t squad players

Verheok to forest _ I don't no why we are complaining when forest have a lot more money available to them than we could ever wish for, and the championship in England is probably 4th best league in the world. They also can offer a good chance of premier league football next year, we can't even offer Europe at this rate anymore.

Hence why Kenny miller snubbed us for yes another championship club.we cannot compete

i dont know why everybody is so worried over our transfers. the only transfer that made our club look stupid is the goodwillie saga apart from that every other transfer has gone normal imo. its just after the dragged out disgrace of the dg affair we have been comparing our other attempts to sign players to that we will sign players. things are not as bad as some people would like you to think we still have the core of our 3iar squad tied up. we just got to add some more thats on the way. now look at celtic looks like there going to be the selling club. epl clubs are coming in for the best of thier talent. i know they will receive millions for these guys but look how hard it is to get them in the door never mind getting them settled in the team. give ally and whyte til the end of the transfer market then judge mark.

So here we are on the threshold of another euro deadline with still none of allys stated transfer targets signed. We are now counting 9 1st pick signings that ally stated he wanted to sign have gone elsewhere. When we complained after the champions league exit, mr whyte told us not to worry the signings will come. So here we are, only realistically looking at an aussie (who may turn out to be a good player) for a few hundred grand. We have missed out on verhock and it doesnt look like we will agree a fee for juhasz, indeed are we seriously being expected to beleive that when mr whyte says signings will come that he actually means GOOD signings, no. We are scrapping the botton of the barrel for bargains from poundstretcher. If you continue to treat the rangers support with this level of contempt we will vote with our feet, we do not accept second or in this case third and fourth best. We have been embarrassed enough by this transfer policy.

It looks like the board want Ally to fail .. Players who have been well within our price range and even free agents are going to lesser leagues.. The outgoing board tried to warn us .. sausage bear

I wouldn't pay £3.5million for Juhasz, I know he's a good player but Carlos Cuellar loves Rangers and all that would need to happen is give him a more decent wage (a proven defender) and that money from Juhasz deal would be used on Cuellars wages for the next 5 years or something.

Believable1 Unbelievable4

NONSENSE why do post's like this get on, it's a rumour site not a display of how mentally challenged some folk are, so your saying don't sign juhasz for 3.5m get cuellar for 2m and the other 1.5m can give him the bumper wages he wants,If he loved gers as much as you think then he'd take the 25k on offer, juhasz has said he want's to play for us so Get him in younger and just as good as cuellar, thank god ur not in charge

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont think we should wait for cuellar because since our offer was accepted by villa he has gone off the map showing no indication whether he wants to come back or not. If he loves Rangers so much he could have done the decent thing and came out and told us what was happening.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cuellar won't be coming mate wake up, if he was going to sign he would be there. Also doubt we will get juhaz. We had missed out On every top target, he will be another. Whyte is a clown I want rid now

Agree0 Disagree0

If he loves us as much as you seem to think then why isn,t he here???

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Aug 2011 19:07:02
if we do not sign any new players before the europea cup dead line that is us out..... anyone else think we just put low bid in for players so it looks like we are busy in the tranfer market noing fine well we have no chance of getting them

Believable3 Unbelievable2

See as a true rangers fan your behind your team all the way?

Agree0 Disagree0

No matt mckay is a left midfielder who can play in the centre mid aswell, A-leauge player of year brisbane captain and aussie international and has a release clause of around 260k bargain he is very good, where as verhoek would of cost us an extra 2.6 on top of that, bedoya in january in similar style role aswell for free good buisness means the 1.7 mill from boughy still not spent, we will get some more lads in no doubt.*ksd*

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree m8 there's summit not right at rangers, where's the 15 mill and the charlie adam and bougy money? we can't even bid 2 mill for a player ffs

I posted the other day that it is so obvious that mr whyte deal to take the club would be a major pr blow if he didnt make superally the boss(rememeber this woz decided before he won the deal) what if ,it suits him to watch ally fail and make every thing he tries to do very difficult,,,,

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Fair play to Mr Whyte he allowed the club to continue on the vain it was in and as a rangers fan understood that to make changes to the management structure would rock the more than just a little, He is now in control and will do whatever it takes to make rangers a force again But he will not pay way over the top for average players and lets face it there are very few who would play for the jersey left if any, its all about the money, forget titles forget cups its cash they want and surprise surprise they wont get it in scotland anymore.

Mcgregor

Cuellar goian juhasz


Whittaker Davis bedoya McKay wallace

Naismith jelavic

Think this is the tactic ally wants that's why we paying most money on defence cause strong defence will let midfield be more adventurous

Just a thought

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Agree with you but wouldnt have halfwit on right wing would play naismith there altho thats unlikely to happen weve put a rope round our neck paying halfwit £22k a week would play biglaff with jela upfront seemed to be getting it to gel at end of season heres hoping hes fit soon

I would take whiitaker out and put naismith at the right then buy a striker

Guys have a look at YOU TUBE for Matt McKay Compilation, does he remind you of a certain Blackpool player last year who sealed a dream move to Liverpool. Maybe even a small bit better LOL. If we get this guy for 260,000 which has been qouted its a steal.. Check it out, great left peg.

Just have m8 and he looks a clever player too, lets hope this one is for real and he settles quickly and is a good foil for s.Davis.

According toThe Telegraph, Ado Den Haag club officials have denied we ever put in a second bid for Verhoek. This contradicts what Ally said at the weekend.

It looks like Ally doesn't know what he is talking about, or is being duped.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

I will go with Ally " being Duped " This whole transfer window is a disaster and I can't wait until it is over............ As far as Rangers is concerned, FARCICAL in every respect.

I think Ally is in the whole 'farce' along with Whyte, if he isn't, then he must be a bit of a daftie, and he also has no say on what players are actually signed.

Whats going on with mr smith, gordon not walter, is he not meant to be getting all the transfer stuff sorted, seems ally and Mr Whyte taking all the flack,

08 Aug 2011 16:39:27
If Verhoek is 'not that good', why was an 8m euro (over £7m) deal agreed with Napoli only a few months ago, which just fell through at the very last moment,.....the boy has explosive pace, can score, plays through the middle or out wide and is as strong as an Oxx.....3m would be a steal.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

I totally agree with you, really pissed off at Whyte for nae pulling out the stops for this guy as he is the type of player who could make a difference when games are tight, gutted that we don,t look like getting him.

Hugo Bargas is a good striker, who would suit Jelavic. He got released by De Graffschap in Holland. Plus he is 25 and got good pace. Look him up.

08 Aug 2011 16:36:17
I'd love to see Cuellar and i don't honestly think that deal is dead yet... but spending 3.5 mil on a defender suggests that we wont be paying an additional 2m for another one (obviously Cuellar) what do you guys think? Whyte and McCoist moved on after not hearing back from Cuellar's agent? Cuellar doesn't want to come and the guys in charge are trying not to bring him up in the press? or do you think we're getting both? I just personally can't see us spending 6 mil(including Goian) on CB's alone

Dusan Tadic

Now that it looks like we missed out on Verhoek, there is a player called Dusan Tadic who got over 20 assists last season and scored 7 goals from left wing for Groningen.

Anyone else think he could be the answer?

Have spoken to other bears about him who are surprised that premier league clubs havent went for him. Groningen also have Tim Matavz who looks a player, possible partner for Jelavic.

guys,guys,guys honestly dont see why folk are complaining about some of the signings,remember ally did say quantity over quality,ally cant win here..the fans want players in just for the sake of beefing up the squad then moan about the lack of quality,the days of signing laudrup,gazza and albertz are well gone,some folk want to start living in the real world.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Eh naw he said the complete opposite .. he said he was looking to bring in 4-5 players of quality that will improve the team. Not getting Verhoek is a big blow i reckon .... a player if his type would have doddled the SPL playing for a team with so much possesion .... real pity even if a bid was accepted we mite struggle to get him wdue to Mclarens rep in Holland.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

500k Ortiz
800k Goian
£1.5M Wallace
£3.5M Juhasz( when he signs)
and possibly 300k on McKay

Thats £6.6M in my book,aye he better start spending lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah but the point is that whyte should have bid higher on the higher class players a couple of weeks ago as now we're hoping on these low levels

Agree0 Disagree0

Juhasz not signed so thats 3.1m. take of 1.7m from bougherra thats 1.4m spent go on the white knight lol

Agree0 Disagree0

What higher class players want to come to Scotland?..very few.I think Whyte is getting a pretty raw deal from most fans.The guy is trying to be prudent in the transfer market and not lead us down the same path as Murray did

Agree0 Disagree0

Pedantic but..also add in thr funds from charlie adam sale... And it about 900k layed out by whyte.. yes yes new contracts and paint and posters for ibrox.

Agree0 Disagree0

Juhasz not signed so thats 3.1m. take of 1.7m from bougherra thats 1.4m spent then take off 0.8m for Adam going to Liverpool - so he's spent £0.6m

Agree0 Disagree0

U want to throw money about? portsmouth, leeds utd , or the paul leguen era like that?? good way to ruin a club whytes tyring to save us not break us we are so much better of this time than last year ,real supporters support theyre club through good times and bad

Agree0 Disagree0

I spotted a "when he signs" on the original comment Timmy and Boughys transfer fee means nothing,so when Juhasz signs(as he is in Glasgow) its 6.6..how much have the runners up spent?lololol

Verhoek will be making a mistake signing for Nottingham Forest as they have no chance of promotion realistically within the next 3 years

Sign for Rangers and play in front of 50,000 every second week, in Europe and win trophies

What trophies do you think you will win this season? Playing in front of a large crowd isn't everything either. The chance of playing championship football is greater than the SPL fact. I am afraid you are going to have to get used to it.

Wot trophies? all three domestic ones and a good run in the europa league. wot about forrest then? mark.

Forrest will bid enough for him and also prob pay him more in wages the two real factors in football now unfortunately

Can't believe some of the comments directed at Whyte and mccoist, who'd be a manager? especially the rangers manager dammed if you don't, dammed if you do. the club said they'll be bringing in 2 players big Kyle being one and McKay the other Obviously some fans use the cost of a transfer to determine how good a player is can't believe these guys are real rangers supporters the man ( McKay ) hasn't even signed yet and some have him as a pub player that's passed it at 28 becauseThey haven't heard of him
bet if we lived in oz we would have, what Id like everyone do is get behind the club from owner to manager and any new signing big or small and give them a chance and our full support and come may it will be 4 in a row

Who do we blame for the pantomime that is Glasgow Rangers transfer policy, is it the manager who has only been in charge for 2 months and is extremely inexperienced in the ins and outs of the transfer game, or is it the owner who has only just acquired the club and again who is also very inexperienced in the game never mind the transfer market.

No, for me it’s got to be the Director of Football (Gordon Smith), who was brought on board, as far as I can see, to use his footballing knowledge and contacts to advise both McCoist and Whyte on potential targets and dealings in the transfer market. So what has he done so far apart from turning Rangers into a laughing stock i.e. bidding £300k on a player rated at £2m, spending £1.5m on a player with a year to go on his contract or knocking back a £2.5m offer for a player, then accepting a reduced bid a week later.

So it’s time Gordon Smith actually advised what he is doing for the club, other than sitting on his fat ar$e living the good life at the expense of Rangers.

Maybe I’m being harsh but only time will tell what the hell is going on

SSN have stated that Verhoek will talk to Steve McLaren tonight and if everything goes well he will have a medical tomorrow.

Now Mr Whyte here is your chance to prove your doubters wrong and show that you are backing Ally, get the cheque book out and match the £2.5m and if the boy knocks us back then at least we tried our best.

But if we have been tracking this boy for a couple of weeks and we let him go for the sake of £150k-£200k then that will be shameful and it would have wasted a lot of peoples time when other targets could have been looked at.

It's time to put the bid in and see what happens, if not then Mr Whyte & Ally will be leaving themselves wide open.

The Pilot

Believable8 Unbelievable3

Im afraid this one has gone, Rangers last bid was in the region of £1.5m /£1.75m and was rejected for being too low. Forest have stumped up nearly £2.5m. There is no way were going to match that. So your comment for the sake of an extra £150k-£200k is well wide of the mark. If he we was that good there would be more than Forest sniffing around.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed we all know that you need the clubs permission to speak to players and so far we haven't bid enough to get that approval. get the right money put in then see if the player wants to come if he doesn't then at least we had the chance to talk to him. A question I would ask though is why aren't there any more clubs interested in him..... if he is that good surely EPL teams would be lining up for him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sky sports only says undisclosed fee agreed that doesnt mean we have missed out on him yet does it ed. {Ed001's Note - it does look likely he will be joining Forest now, but nothing is certain until the contracts are signed.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

I understand your logic, but consider that the critical errors came from a player that is not good enough to play right back in Europe (past seasons prove that), and a player that already stated he wanted to leave. A few defensive signings and even the first weeks bad display may have ended in a draw sending us through.

With regard to all the rumours suggesting Matt Mckay will sign today his agent, John Viola, is quoted in both the Daily Record and on SSN saying:

"There is no chance of anything being completed before the deadline on Monday but talks are progressing well."

The likelihood being that he would return to Glasgow for a medical on Thursday following the Wales match on Wednesday and we would register him as our wildcard.

Would love to see someone brought it today, particularly Verhoek but despite only being 150K or whatever off the asking price I doubt Tighty Whytey will stretch to it...

Ok so it looks likely we will sign the australlian and hes being written off by so called fans already , ok so its another dissapointment to lose out on verhoek but these youtube clips we all watch can make anyone look good is the same with hemed and neil danns , il admit he looks a player but tp say te australlian is washed up not long came into the international squad and a lot of people have only Good things to say about him so he is welcOmed by me with open arms for 500k he could be the answer to our midfield problems supposably in the mould of steve davis but a bit tougher and likes a hard challenge which suits the scottish game very well lets not write ourselves off of we spend 3.5million on juhasz who can moan then thats a marquee signing and could turn out to be as good as carlos cuellar in his spell at ibrox or better and most likely better than the performances bougherra put in for the last 2 seasons , were still very much active in the transfer marlet and we are obviously looking into loab players from the premiership aswell so get behind the team see how we go and dont slate players and praise players before they have even signed for the club unless u personally have seen them play full matches , we are so negative u would think we were celtic fans turning our backs on our team of players who many of them have 3 championship medals , our manager who has served our club as a player as good as anyone and will always have rangers best interest at heart and craig whyte lets give the conspiricies a rest until he does fail us we have had a few minor letdowns on and off the park but we are the Glasgow Rangers the resillience and spirit our team has showed in the past 3 years will be still be there for all to see come the business end of the season keep the faith

To say the club is 'better off' without these supporters is nothing short of nonsence . If it wasn't for supporters of this view , The likes of Whyte would be happy to see the club compete for the title with only the small squad we have and no more signings . These supporters you refer to are hard working people paying their money to watch their team , sure they need to get behind the club but when we've missed out on the likes of Goodwillie , Conway , Miller etc the last thing we want to do is settle for guys such as Mckay . Sure he may look a decent player but he's playing in a league which is worse than ours . Guys like this aren't any better than what we currently have and aren't going to enter the squad and make a difference to helping the club move in the right direction . We should be pushing the boat out to get Cuellar back and if he doesn't want to come back then his loss . Weiss(Loan) , Templeton and Jamie Murphy would all be good signings , Guys whom we know about and what the can offer . I may get my head butt off for this but even El Hadji Diouf once more? He's avaliable on a free and although trouble is his best friend , He knows what it's all about.

Well seid m8

Agree0 Disagree0

Diouf, Egomaniac and little self discipline but a better cross, pass and general movement than Edu.

Agree0 Disagree0

I won,t knock you for wanting Diouf back as i think he was pretty good for us but i won,t knock McKay as we will have to give him a chance but i,m well pissed off if we don,t get Verhoek as Whyte could easily have made that happen.

Why is everyone so concerned about the possibility of losing out on Verhoek?...sure Youtube make him look handy but they did the same with Seeeeeebo..and anyone that would prefer a move to a Championship club rather than a Champions club aint worth bothering about..I say we move on and forget about the lad.
Lets hope we make moves to sign a striker in the coming days as I feel we really need a partner for Jelavic and would love to see young Murphy in a Gers top, young lad with loads of promise and I dont think the Well would be too difficult to deal with.

We are only Chamions of Scotland is why It would be so much easier if we put in realistic bids and not under value and in installments, yes / no ?

Erm.... didnt you lot say he was going to be brilliant? but as soon as hes not comming hes not good enough. same happened with goodwillie

I would have thought that having had numerous ex Dutch players would have helped us out getting Verhoek. Mols, Van Bronkhorst, Numan, De Boer's could have recommended to him a move to Ibrox.

That he would prefer a move to Forest is truly astonishing.

He said twice last week that he would jump at the chance of joining Rangers. But he hasn't had the option as we haven't met their valuation of the player. So those guys you mentioned are useless until we do.

Can anyone tell me why Rangers have a full page exclusive story on the club website about Matt McKay saying that we are on his trail.

www.rangers.co.uk/articles/20110807/exclusive-gers-chase-aussie-star_2254024_2412727

Why not any exclusives about the other 5 or 6 targets that Whyte said we are in for, inc Verhoek?

I'll tell you why....it's because we will definately get the Aussie, because he is from a mickey mouse league, he'll cost peanuts, and no one else is in for him.

Why is this guy 'the exclusive' on the Gers site, why not verhoek or Juhasz , who we are allegedly chasing, just the same as McKAY.

The reason is just the same as Goodwillie, we have NO dough, and the unrealistic offers are meant to 'kid on' the daftie fans in the ranks that we are really in for these players.

Is there anyone on here, who can honestly say that they didn't see the ''Verhoek to Forrest'' one coming, it's 'low bid' embarrassment once again.

Go on our site though, get brainwashed with the new ''exclusive'' and get kinky over McKAY........disgrace.

What a tool, How often have you seen McKay or Verhoek. Verhoek had 1 maybe 2 good seasons. And ask yourself this is he is THAT good why are Forest and ourselves the only teams interested

I come here often and some of the rumours are good however i would just like to express my disappointment at some Rangers fans on here moaning about Whyte. Rangers are now being run as they should, like a business. Like any good businessman would, he has tied down our assets to long term deals and only buying when/if the price is right. I think some people need to remember this team has won the league for the last 3 years and has reached a European final. We could do with a few new faces but does it really take that much to be there, or there abouts in the SPL? Whyte has saved club from going bust - I'm certainly thankful I'll be able to watch my team for many years to come, even if no investment happens and we finish bottom of the league, we'll still exist. Wish all the glory hunters, and arm chair supports would get of the guys back.

Believable4 Unbelievable4

Well, if your such a big Rangers supporter, you should know that being "there or there abouts" is simply not good enough. We NEED to be champions. Unfortunately, with our current group, I don't see that happening as our squad is too small in my opinion. We need more quality and dig in central midfield, a creative winger and a goalscoring partner for Jelavic, as well as a few squad players. If we get this I will be more confident that we can compete in the SPL and Europa League.

This is not a criticism of Whyte, or Ally. There is still time for them to bring in sufficient reinforcements, and I have faith they will do just that.


Steven.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree but when we are being beaten to targets by notts forest its time to worry a little bit, eh?

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe slightly, but there is always going to be someone else out there who could come in and do the job.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well answer me this, if Rangers are now being run like a business and were aware that in a 3 months time they had a chance of gaining a potential 15-18m income but for that to happen they had to spend 7-8m net to strengthen their staffing issues which was needing attention anyway.
Then if they put on a good showing in turn making the brand more attractive to potential investors or players as well as keeping sharehoders and fans happy then surely this is a no brainer?
Why wasn't the changes implimented sooner?
And why are you still sticking up for poor planing and organisation?

If things turn out to be more sinister we will find out at the end of the month.
Finding hidden gems from oz is all good and well be we need proven quality, The fans demand it, we pay far more than the product value and deserve to be entertained by this business.

I firmly believe that Mr Whyte has not got the cash we hope he has. I don't believe that he is serious about any of the bids we are reportedly making, or have made for players. Why are we offering to pay in installments ? Why are we waiting until it is too late to secure a players signature, Goodwillie, now Verhoek ? Is it because these bids are not serious, or real ? Is Mr Whyte only using this transfer business as a smokescreen to cover the fact that he has no real interest in football, let alone Rangers ? There are too many questions unanswered and too many doubts surrounding this man, not just now during all the transfer let downs, but before a deal was even brokered for the £1 he paid. A. Johnson appears to have been vindicated in his reservations regarding this mans true intentions. What would be more realistic and acceptable, would be for the current team of board members and management to come out and just say what the majority of fans now fear...... there is NO money available for transfers Please Mr Whyte, all we seek is the truth, or better still, actions and urgency in the transfer dealings which are currently turning our great club into a laughing stock................. We need answers, WE DESERVE BETTER Rangers 'til idie

Believable6 Unbelievable3

I wholly endorse this intelligent post. One hopes still to be proved wrong, but the pattern of Mr. Whyte's serial under-bidding, which has already cost us six or seven badly-needed players and an entriely avoidable £15 million CL exit, needs much deeper examination. Nobody in business at Mr. Whyte's level learns that slowly how the transfer market works. Therefore it has to be a strategy of smoke and mirrors that assumes that the Rangers fans are idiots. There was manifestly no serious intent on capturing Goodwillie, Miller, Conway and Danns etc., simply a spurious show of intent to show we were "busy" in the tranfer market. The pitiful results - with the exception of Wallace and Bartley (jury is out on Goian) - scream out for the courage of an Ibrox whistleblower to expose precisely what is going on inside our club. Does Mr. Whyte intend finacing the capture of any halfway class players at all? Does he in fact have any money to do so? Did the outgoing directors accurately smell many large rats? The litmus test is the Dutch boy Verhoek, who originally went on record fiercely preferring to come to Gers. If we lose out to Forest on this one - a wholly achievable and sensible expenditure on a game-changing player - then "the last straw" will be an accurate assessment. Our vast worldwide support must then make itself heard, for the whistle is unlikely to be blown by the supine Scottish football press in thrall to the club. We may need that whistle blown loudly and bravely, possibly today, if we lose out miserably yet again.

What is going on Ally? If half our team plays poorly each week, bench them and give the kids a go. They cant do any worse than Edu, s**ttaker, McCulloch, Broadfoot etc. At least Wylde, Hutton, Ness, and the like, would have a go at teams, and play with enthusiasm. Its the same line up every game, with no changes. Thats okay if we are winning games, but we are not. Why resign Healy and Kerkar, if they will never see the park. Broadfoot and Beattie should be released immediately. Come on Ally, i pay good dollars to watch the games from Australia, and its not good enough. Where are the days when we tore teams apart, with jinky wingers, and 2 strikers. Now we graft results against rubbish opposition. Get Weiss back, at least he wasnt afraid to run at defenders, and whip balls in.

Couldnt agree more with your comments. My conspiracy mind is running rampant here, every rangers fan (and not rangers fan) can see that the team he is fielding is way off the mark, yet he isn;t interested in changing it. There is something going on regarding Ibrox and its about time there was some explaining to be done. And yes before all you..."your not a supporter" crap gets thrown at me, i am an avid rangers fan and have been my whole life, i want to see the best for my team and so far, this campaign is probably the worst i have seen.

Is there a common denominator here? We make numerous bids for goodwill, and we make an acceptable offer when he is undergoing a medical , so he goes elsewhere. We have made numerous bids for verhoek, and he goes elsewhere, we bid for hammed and he goes elsewhere, we have made several bids for the hungarian defender and he will probably end up elsewhere. We make it public who we are after, we know the acceptable price and we fail with silly bids. I have checked the forest page and they are laughing at us, they feel in no danger of losing verhoek to us. This is what our great club is reduced to. I don't believe we are seriously trying to get them, it is a ruse by whyte. I have put in 123 bids for my neighbours car worth £10 k, my latest bid is £3.65, think I may be struggling. I have bid but don't have the money so hope my bid does not get accepted. Still I am trying Or am I wasting everybodys time. Can I suggest that is what is happening with whyte. It is a smokescreen and we will end up with three or four loanees and will have exactly this problem next year if hmrc have not shut us down.

Why would you buy anything if there was potential that you would face huge bills after buying it. You would not buy a house if there was an outstanding bill on it that you are liable for. It does not make sense at all, and it appears the old board were right to have reservations that whyte does not have the money. He is full of big talk but had the cheek to say a couple of weeks ago that he thought he had proven the doubters wrong already. Well let me tell mr whyte something, his performance up to now is a disgrace and unless the money men start producing the goods all the doubters will be proven correct, he is only out to make fast buck. He is turning our club into a laughing stock and That has to stop and stop now. For £1m extra we could have got verhoek, miller and dg, and been in the CL. Pay up or bail out. I hate what lloyds did to us but at least we knew where we were, with this owner we really don't know where we are. Lots of promises nothing delivered.

Jelavic was out for 5 months, Ness for 3months, broadfoot season

Why are Gers openly publicising potential transfer targets? The latest being mckay.

I can understand agents doing it to try and get some more money for their players but come on Mr Whyte we only want to know when players have been signed, otherwise it is totally unprofessional to speculate on who we 'like'.

I've defended whyte all the way but the way all of the business is handled in public is nothing short of a disgrace. Super Ally should
also keep his trap shut on possible targets and bids and stick to managing our team. Gordon Smith has been quiet of late has he been
waiting by the fax machine to collect bid rejections.

If a club came in and offered us 2M for Shagger, would we take it?

NAW......, so why the f*** do we go in with insane offers for players, and expect to get them.......do you know why? because 'they' don't expect to get them, do you think Whyte is thick, he's creating this thing, that it looks like Rangers are all over the market for players, when we have no chance of getting them.

If you had a business worth 2m, and Whyte came in and said, nice business you have, geez it for 200k, i think you'd tell him to go f*** himself, that's what we are doing with players, soon, no club will even entertain a bid from us.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Totally agree with you mate. i have had a season ticket for as long as i care to remember and if murray had not sold the club i was not going to renew it.

when craig whyte came in i like everyone else believed the spin coming out of ibrox and was looking forward to watching not average players but good players that can at least pass and trap a ball. now by the looks of things i am going to watching the same old same old, average players a 4 5 1 formation and another manager who has no faith in the younger players we have.

if this turns out to be the case craig whyte can kiss goodbye to my season ticket money next season.

i know i will get the usual "we dont need supporters like you at ibrox" but who cares i aint paying good money to watch guys like edu, clubfoot and mcculloch running around like headless chickens

I hate slagging the Gers as well mate, but the way we are conducting business off the Park is just not f***** normal....the thing that doesn't add up with me, is the Lee Wallace deal, looks a not bad player, but wee bid 300k, then paid 1.5m, and he was free in January, but we are putting in low , mental, bids for other players who are on two or three year contracts......Whyte, Smith and Ally know fine well that we have no chance of landing these players.....there is a stroke being pulled somewhere here, and Ally is in on it, because he's not f***** stupid, but they seem to think that we all are.

We are a laughing stock, for £400k we lost miller, for £300k we will lose verhoek, for £300K we lost Goody. So for £1m we have cost ourselves £15m for CL. And we are meant to believe that we have a war chest of £10m. This is clearly a load of bull. Whyte has bought the club for £1, took in £15m for season ticket sales and has so far spent £1.5m on a left back when we have a perfectly good left back in sasa. Why did we not wait until Jan and sign him on pre contract for nothing. We spent £800k on goian, £500k on Ortiz, and have taken in £1.7m on bougy, £800k on Adam. Net spend £300k. We were assured that money had been spent on the stadium, well the kiosks in the main stand have not been touched, and the stadium looks exactly the same to me. It is clear that this man is a charlatan, and I would urge ally to get out now whilst he is still a legend. He is being hung out to dry
